    If you’ve hung around on this blog for very long, you’ve probably figured out that I love photo challenges (see just about any of my photo posts for evidence).

I live in Flagstaff, a not-so-fictional mountain town in Arizona that makes an appearance in my story, but since I’m writing a paranormal romance (a time travel romance, to be specific), I wanted the freedom of a fictional setting. I don’t want some overly-literal reader leaving me a one-star review because there are, in fact, no time portals in Flagstaff. Hey, you know it could happen.

My latest blog post includes more info about my interview on the Mysterious Goings-On podcast (link in bio). Host @alexginkc and I talk about getting started as a fiction writer, using short stories to advance your writing career, and lots more.
